Ingredients:
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning
- 1/2 cup Black Beans, drained
- 2 cups Tortilla Chips
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese
- 1 Tomato, diced
- 1 Green Onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup Black Olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Sour Cream
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ground Beef: Begin by breaking apart the ground beef and placing it into the air fryer basket. Drizzle the beef with olive oil, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef, distributing it evenly. This step ensures that the beef is flavorful and well-seasoned.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Set the air fryer to 400 degrees F and cook the beef for approximately 5 minutes. After the initial cooking time, open the basket and lightly toss the beef to ensure even cooking. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes or until the beef is fully browned. Cooking the beef in the air fryer not only reduces the amount of grease but also ensures it’s cooked evenly and to perfection.
- Prepare the Nachos: Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the air fryer basket and set it aside. Clean out any excess grease or residue from the air fryer. Line the basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Layer the Ingredients: Spread the tortilla chips evenly over the parchment paper-lined basket. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the tortilla chips, ensuring that each chip is covered with a generous amount of cheese. Next, add the cooked ground beef and drained black beans on top of the cheese layer. This creates a delicious and hearty base for the nachos.
- Cook the Nachos: Set the air fryer to 350 degrees F and cook the nachos for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking the nachos at a slightly lower temperature ensures that the cheese melts evenly without burning the chips.
- Finish and Serve: Once the nachos are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter. Top the nachos with diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, sliced black olives, and a dollop of sour cream. These fresh toppings add brightness and contrast to the rich flavors of the nachos.
